Sustainable technologies for building construction

Abstract

Global warming and climate change are critical challenges, with the building sector as one of the largest contributors. Conventional construction practices, relying on energy-intensive materials and technologies, not only harm the environment but also pose risks to human health. Addressing these issues requires a shift toward sustainable, or “green,” building design. Sustainable construction replaces harmful materials and methods with eco-friendly alternatives that reduce resource consumption and environmental impact. This study explores sustainable technologies, materials, and standards that support buildings in minimizing energy and resource use. Sustainable buildings promise a healthier environment by optimizing water, energy, and material efficiency while reducing emissions. The research also examines the multifaceted benefits of sustainable practices in construction and outlines future directions to advance this approach. Sustainable building practices hold the potential to create environmentally friendly and resource-efficient structures, contributing to a resilient and healthier society.
